We consider creases and folds in compressed hyperelastic solids from the point of view bifurcation theory. They refer to highly localized surface deformations that occur at compressive loads significantly below value well-known Biot instability. Much work literature attempts make case this phenomenon corresponds a “ local ” distinct A is path equilibrium solutions emanating (bifurcation) on tri...

The possibility of sunspot equilibria and endogenous cycles due to self-fulfilling expectations are explored in a one-sector overlapping-generations model with credit market imperfection. It is shown that a strategic complementarity between agent’s optimal labor supply decisions may arise when the credit market is imperfect. Multiplicity of steady states and local indeterminacy of equilibrium c...

Transforming an arbitrary mesh into a smooth G surface has been the subject of intensive research works. To get a visual pleasing shape without any imperfection even in the presence of extraordinary mesh vertices is still a challenging problem in particular when interpolation of the mesh vertices is required. We present a new local method, which produces visually smooth shapes while solving the...

This paper studies the problem of discovering protocol definitions from read-world service interaction data, which often are imperfect in various ways. It first describes the challenges in protocol discovery in such a context and the different aspects that must be considered by a protocol discovery solution. Next, it reports the current progress by presenting a discovery algorithm that is robus...

Where you can find the management of knowledge imperfection in building intelligent systems easily? Is it in the book store? On-line book store? are you sure? Keep in mind that you will find the book in this site. This book is very referred for you because it gives not only the experience but also lesson. The lessons are very valuable to serve for you, that's not about who are reading this mana...

IX Chapter 0ABSTRACT The process of designing high-quality software systems is one of the major issues in software engineering research. Over the years, this has resulted in numerous design methods, each with specific qualities and drawbacks. For example, the Rational Unified Process is a comprehensive design process, which is proposed to support the major phases in the software engineering lif...
